Die Knappen! Schalke 04 07/08 thread (part 3) [R]

Tough group but should be some entertaining football. I am too focused on taking 3 points from Bayer Asprins tomorrow to consider our prospects in this group.

Beautiful gesture by Schalke (even though I kinda expected it):

Hmm, yeah...Both clubs and even both sets of fans got along famously, there still fans of both Sevilla and Schalke hanging around on the main club forums actually.

If there wasn´t the matter of distances I think a serious fanfreundschaft would have developed actually...Odd Eh?


RIP Puerta..

Don't Gladbach and Liverpool have a fan-friendship? Distance isn't that big of a deal.

[Borussia]

Mamma mia, that's a tough CL group!

Mamma mia, that's a tough CL group!

Noone said it´d be easy.

We have to win our home matches and luckly some points away
and we will qualify.

OMFG Krstajic........that looks like a career-ending injury.....

[Schwalker]

Krstajics knee ligaments took a nasty hit...Let´s hope for the best but at his age (33) it won´t be easy getting back on track.

Fortunatelly we got Rodi and Westermann on stand-by...

Costly draw. Such a performance in Munich in 2 weeks time will not do.

That´s exactly what the Bayern fans says right now so I say we are even on that score..To be honest there wasn´t a single club that impressed much this weekend.

VfB was trying to play beautiful football in a derby..so they lost!

Bremen depends on luck to score right now, but won...

Bayern and a HSV without VDV ended with a draw...Both teams can do much better.

Schalke is wasting to many chances, needs a class striker to join Kuranyi I think.

I ll be in Munich next Saturday:D like 10.000 other dressed in Blue.

Have a great time...but make sure you bring back 3 points for us up here!

[Schalkoholic]

Its not me to bring the points
Its the players to have self-confidence.
Thats all they need
They got the class to beat the ugly animal from Saebener Strasse.:D

I have a feeling, 'holic is going to be unbearable (in a good way) whenever the next post comes :)

But I do content that a 4-4-2 may not be the best way to face Bayern and if Slomka employs a 4-5-1 he might be able to clog the channels and pull Lucio out, allowing KK one-on-ones with Demichelis.

Well, a 4-4-2 formation with Asamoah is almost a 4-5-1 formation...:cool:

[Schwalker]

Well, a draw away I can live with...Bayern away ain´t easy.

1 win and 4 draws is something of a setback though, but as we have played Bayern, Stuttgart, Leverkusen, Dortmund and Wolfsburg so I will not complain..:cool:


The next 5 games looks doable though!

Biefeld
Duisburg
Hertha
Karlsruhe
Hansa

I thought it was a brilliant result to be honest. Next 5 should be doable I agree, I hope we can take points against you guys though.

In Berlin you mostly win against us...In GE we got the upper hand :p

As for Hertha, I have expectations for the future..A swiss friend is praising your new coach something wicked.
But give him a few years!

[The Old Lady Hertha]

He is a really good coach I gotta give him that. I really like our team. That being said, can't really see us getting even a punkt in the Arena auf Scheisse.

Haha..The banter have been updated "Alte Schlampe", GE Turnhalle or Die Bierstand is what our rivals use nowadays..:D

Sorry! :D I am not in Europe anymore ;)
